Rams-Steelers trade pitch sends $112 million superstar to Los Angeles in blockbuster NFL move (sports.yahoo)
“USA Today’s Jacob Camenker lists the Rams as a potential landing spot for disgruntled Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt, who has been involved in trade rumors over the last few days.
“Les Snead has never been afraid to trade draft picks for proven players, and Matthew Stafford is entering his age-37 season. That should put Watt firmly on Los Angeles’ radar,” Camenker wrote.
The Rams don’t need Watt, as the team’s pass rush is already formidable, and they also have a budding star edge rusher in Jared Verse, who is ready to take the next step in 2025 after winning Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2024.”

Stafford then signed a three-year extension for $53 million with over $41 million guaranteed. That takes us to his 10th year in the NFL, where his next extension, a record-setting five-year, $135 million contract, confirmed he would be the richest player drafted in 2009.”
